department-cest

When one member of an academic department at a university hooks up with another member of the same department.

Considered slightly incestuous because often members of the same department are often an insular social group that work, hang out and often live (roommates) together. Can also lead to a degree of nepotism.

On the other hand, can be quite common or even encouraged due to the lack of interaction with non-members of the department.

If you are going to take time away from your studies for a love life, make it department-cest so you don't get too distracted. Lab or office-cest is off-limits though.

Did you hear Mike and Sally are shacking up? Department-cest!

Fire department

A career full of buddyfuckers that screw over others in the department to benefit their own crews or personal interests

The station gave the floating firefighter the worst assignment for the day because fuck him even though he was already inconvenienced by having to float to a different station. That’s the way of the fire department.

Department of Clipboards

An alternative collective noun for a shuffle of bureaucrats, specifically those with some sort of auditing task. Inspired by their flocking behaviour and use of clipboards as a work tool. Derogatory.

"Better sort out those paperclips, Bob; the Department of Clipboards is just getting out of the lift."
